ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for enclosing and protecting an electric meter for storage or transport purposes. The apparatus is comprised of a base unit and a cover unit of rigid plastic that provide both shock and thermal protection to the meter. An inwardly extending ring on both the base and cover encloses the meter's flange, thus centering and immobilizing the meter in the case. Both the cover and base unit also have protruding lips of slightly different sizes so that the cover lip accepts the base lip within it. In addition, each lip is threaded, so as to attachably engage with the other and, when rotated, lock the cover, the base and the meter together.
